ABSTRACT
The problem of the flow of a gas-liquid mixture through a multi-
stage axial compressor originally designed for air flow arises during
take-off from a rough runway with water on it and during rain. The
problem is complicated because of the presence of discrete droplets in a
rotating compressor flow field and because of the phase change during
compression. In order to alleviate this problem, it is necessary to
examine both changes in blade and casing design as well as possible
additional controls including variable geometry. The objectives of the
investigation presented here are (a) to establish estimates of possible
changes in performance of typical aircraft compressors operating with
two-phase flow, (b) to determine the governing aerothermodynamic equations
for two-phase flow in compressors, and (c) to outline directions in which
further research tay prove fruitful in this subject. Preliminary
investigations have revealed the problem areas in the fan, L.P., and H.P.
compressor stages. The basic aerothermodynamic equations have been
deduced in a form suitable for considering development of a computational
program.

1. INTRODUCTION
Two-phase flow in turbomachinery is of interest in a number of
technological probiems, e.g. rain ingestion into compressors on ground or
during flight, condensation in steam turbines, pumping of crude oil,
circulation of coolants in nuclear reactors, etc. The principal interest
in this Report is in the problem of air-water mixture flow through
diffusers and compressors. In gas turbines installed in aircraft, the
problem of water ingestion into the engine is known to lead to serious
corsequences, both by reducing the stall margin and occasionally leading
to after-burner blowout (Ref. 1). The ingestion of water may arise
during take-off from puddles on rough runways or during flight through a
rainfall. It is unclear at the moment if the problems of surge and blow-
out can be removed with simple bleed-type controls or if one has to
employ, for instance, casing treatment or even redesign of selected
blading in extreme cases. It is possible that no general solution can be
obtained for all types of compressors and al types of water ingestion,
but one may be able to establish general guidelines for design, control,
and operation of compressors. Such general guidelines may then be
adapted to suit given compressor configurations.
No adequate theory exists for the motion of a two-phase fluid through
a compressor. The compressor of interest in this Report is a rotating
machine, for e.g., an axial flow compressor. The increase in pressure
j arises on account of work done on the fluid. In the absence of rotation
and work input to the fluid, one can consider a simple diffuser with an
adverse pressure gradient. There is no adequate theory for two phase
flow even through such a diffuser
11
The two-phase flow of interest in this Report has two basic
complexities:
(a) in the air-water mixture flow, water is in the form of discrete
droplets which may undergo break-up or coalescence during
motion.
(b) When work is done on the fluid, water may undergo a phase change,
leading ultimately to the fluid becoming an air-steam mixture.
The aerothermodynamics of two-phase flow thus becomes quite complicated.
Considering an axial compressor, such as for e.g. the TF-30, several
additional complexities arise in the flow:
(a) Alternating rotating and .tationary blade rows.
(b) Division of the compresscr into the L.P. and H.P. sections.
(c) Flow entry geometry at the inlet to the compressor.
Taken together with the complexities of two-phase flow, the foregoing
presents a formidable problem.
At this time, there are no experimental studies of a suffizicntly
detailed nature to provide some guidance for theory and analysis. The
experimental studies again present , complicated problems on
account of the rotation in the fluid (both centrifugal and Coriolis
forces have to be included appropriately) and the presence of the dis-
crete phase. For example, the combined effects of centrifuging and
coalescence can lead to a film flow of water along the casing of a
compressor and it is important to establish the possibility of such a
film flow both from an analytical and a practical point of view.

U
An interesting aspect of the presence of water at entry to the
4 compressor is the ---se in humidity of air throughout the compressor.
A measure : ir . *,, .jitv is what may be termed the "Saturation Mass
Fraction of Wate- , .rined az the mass of water in a pound mass of air
at saturation under -,iven conditions of pressure and temperature. Thus,
if W is the satur "- masc fraction of water at given values of ambient
temperature ar:d pre. sure, one can write (Ref. 2)
W 0.6219 PS/(P - P S) (0.1)
whereMolecular Weight of Water VaporMolecular Weight of Drj Air
P = air-water vapor mixture pressure
P5 = partial vapor pressure of water at conditions of
saturation.
Ws, by definition, is a local parameter. If one considers standa.rd
atmospheric conditions aL entry to the P&W TF-30 c'?mpressor ano the local
conditions at the exit of stages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, one can tabulate
the values of Ws at the local conditions as shown in Table 1.1. Thus,
at a pressure of 39.71 psia and temperature of 419.78°K, the value of Ws
is 0.9821 which means that the amount of water that can be held in 1 lb
of air under saturated conditions is 0.9821 lb.
One snould however not be misled by the possible values of Ws. In
actual practice, the attainment of equilibrium conditions with respect to
i humidity requires a finite length of time which in turn depends upon the
size, number and gecgraphical distributions -f droplets, and their convec-
tion velocity. There is no clear method of establishing the increase in

humidity of the air in the presence of water droplets over a unit period
of time even in a simple duct flow. In a complicated flow such as that
in a compressor, the problem becomes practically insurmountable. However,
one has to allow for some change in the liquid water content along the
compressor on account of changes in the humidity of air.
The objective of this Report is three-fold: (1) To conduct a
performance estimation study on a selected compressor for the general
effects of two-phase flow in the compressor when it has been originally
designed for air flo4 only; (2) To establish the basic governing equations
for the aerotheraiodynamics of two-phase flow through a compressor; and
(3) To outline a program of theoretical and experimental studies that can
lead to an engineering solution to ?he problem of water ingestion into
installed engine compressors.
1.1 Outline of Report
In order to set the background for the problem of two-phase flow
through a compressor we present in Section 2 some basic two-phase flow
considerations. The presence of water in discrete phase introduces in a
compressor problems of heat and mass transfer and of phase change. We
therefore discuss thermo-physical and transport considerations.
in Section 3 some preliminary results are presented on the changes
in the overall performance of selected compressors when two-phase flow is
introduced into them. A general discussion on aerothermodynamics of two-
phase flow through a compressor is presented in Section 4.
Finally, an outline for future studies is developed in Section 5
with a special emphasis on experimental studies.

42.2. TWO-PHASE FLOW CONSIDERATIONS
The subject of two-phase flow is of interest in many technologies
and several reviews of the subject are available (Refs. 3-7) although the
subject is extremely complicated and presents many unsolved problems. We
shall concentrate here on those aspects of two-phase flow that are
specialized to the current investigation.
The two-phase flow of interest in this investigation is air carrying
water droplets. The water droplets are the result of rain ingestion or
of water sprayed into the inlet during take-off from puddles on uneven
runways.
The presence of water alters the humidity of air at entry and in
fact throughout the compressor with changes in temperature and pressure
so long as water is present in the flow
The first consideration when water is present in discrete droplet
form is the size and number density distribution. If the water is
ingested on account of rain, the initial size and number density distribu-
tion can be related in a very approximate fashion to the rain droplet
size distribution (Refs. 8-9). When water is splashed into the compressor
inlet from runway puddles, one can make a preliminary estimate of the
amount of water that may be splashed by the wheel on account of the
relative motion between the water surface and the adjoining air flow
(see Appendix I). There is considerably greater ambiguity in the spray
I characteristics (Ref. 10). In addition to the uncertainties in the spray
envelope from the wheel, there is also the difficulty of determining the
influence of inlet geometry and flow on the actual ingestion process.
6
miI
The inlet flow itself is altered in many cases by the proximity of the
t ground. Until such time when better data become available on droplet
size and number characteristics, the only feasible approach is to assume
that distributions of statistical mean diameter and number density may be
treated as parameters at the inlet to the compressor.
Upon entry ihto the compressor, the size and number density
distributions of droplets alter continuously on account of the following.
(i) break-up and coagulation; and
(ii) evaporation.
The break-up and coagulation arise on account of the motion in a moving
and generally rotating environment in the presence of gravitational
action. The evaporation requires the droplets to become heated to the
boiling point at the local pressure and then to evaporate with the
absorption of latent heat. The evaporation is a strongly rate dependent
process and several characteristic length and time scales are involved.
At this stage the only feasible approach to take in such problems is to
include the break-up and evaporation processes in the changes in the
statistical mean diameter and number density locally along the streamlines.
The second consideration when water is present in discrete droplet
form is the distribution of velocities for the different droplets. We
assign a single mean velocity for each group of droplets with an assigned
mean statistical diameter. We are thus avoiding consideration of the
mtion of individual droplets in any group.
VThe third consideration arises from the fact that water droplets
introduce the drag of droplets into the momentum balance of the air flow.
The drag is based here, by assumption, on the Reynolds number calculated
7
with respect to the statistical mean diameter and the relative velocity
A of the droplets with respect to air flow velocity. The drag of N.
droplets is taken as Ns times the drag of one ds size particle.
The fourth and last consideration to be taken into account here is
the difference between the compressibility of the mixture and the
compressibility of air. The acoustic velocity in the mixture is
different from that in the air and the local Mach number of the mixture
at any location is therefore based on the acoustic velocity in the
mixture.
In view of the foregoing considerations, some tentative bases have
been selected to take into account the various processes. They are
elucidated in the following.
2.1 Water-Phase Continuum
The water content in the mixture is treated as a continuum in the
general equations of motion along with air and the mixture. The water
content in a unit volume at any location is assigned a value av by
volume. Continuity is thus assumed for (I - a v) of air and av of
water. It should be pointed out that av changes along the flow and
hence is a dependent variable in the flow equations.
In spite of the assumption of continuum for the water droplets, it
is assumed that the water droplets do not contribute to the local
pressure based on the reasoning that the droplets are not distributed
randomly enough.iIt may be pointed out here that for certain purposes, the droplets
are considered as discrete entities. Three processes for which it is
considered necessary to discretize the droplets are (1) the exchange of
8
iI
momentum between the air and the droplets, (2) the evaporation of the
i| droplets, and (3) the break-up and agglomeration of droplets.
2.2 Compressibility of the Mixture
The acoustic velocity in a droplet-laden air flow is given by the
following relation (Ref. 11).
c = (l - OV)Pg + av } cl + (2.1)Sg2 p
where
c = mixture sonic velocity
av = particulate liquid volume fraction = volume of particulate
liquid per unit volume of mixture
p = density
( ) = pertaining to gas phase
( )p = pertaining to particulate liquid phase.
Equation (2.1) is presented graphically in Figure 2.1 for standard
atmospheric conditions and for a range of av from 0.00 to 0.10; the
range over which this report is interested.
2.3 Distribution of Droplet Size and Number Density
The volume vv of water in a unit volume of the mixture at any
location is specified by the following relation.
v ds INs (2.2)
where
ds statistical mean droplet diameter of a cloud of liquid droplets
11s statistical droplet number density of a cloud of liquid
droplets with a statistical mean diameter, ds.

W '
1For our purposes the statistical mean droplet diameter is taken as
the Sauter mean diameter (Ref. 12)
d Jfdmax d3p(d)dd/IImax d2p(d)dd (2.3)
where
d = an individual droplet diameter
p(d) = the probability of a droplet having a diameter between d
and (d + 6d).
It should be noted that a droplet with diameter equal to the Sauter mean
diameter has the same surface area to vulume ratio as the entire spray.
It should be recognized that in addition to av' as and Ns also may
change along the flow depending upon droplet break-up and evaporation
processes. Thus, when av changes, there may also arise a change in d.
and then one can assign a value for Ns corresponding to the changed
values of av and ds-
At entry to the compressor, a radial and circumferential distribu-
tion of av and ds is specified, althou'Th under an axisymmetric assumption
the circumferential variation in distribution can be neglected.
2.4 Break-up of Droplets
A droplet is assumed to breakup when the Weber number b~comes of the
order of ten. The Weber number based on ds is defined by the relation
(Ref. 13):
We = p (Vg V )2 ds/ (2.4)
10
where
We = Weber number
V = velocity
a = droplet surface tension.
It may be noted again that a is not affected by the break-up
locally, although the change in ov from position to position is affected
by the droplet break-up.
2.5 Formation of a Film of Water
The combined effect of droplet agglomeration, centrifugal action and
gravitational action can lead to the formation of a stream of water at
the casing wall. There is no experimental evidence for this and it is a
very important question both from the point of view of fluid dynamics
and the possible arrangements required for the removal of water. It is
extremely difficult to establish the formation of a film of water on an
analytical basis.
We assume that when the value of av reaches a large enough value
ior the mixture to be treated as a bubbly mixture, there arises a film.
Such a value of av is Lstimated to be 0.40 for tap water and air and
0.90 for "pure" water and air (Ref. 14) at a pressure of one atmosphere.
2.6 Drag on a Cloud of Droplets
The drag on a spherical droplet carried in an airflow is a function
of its Reynolds number based on the droplet diameter (ds) and the droplet
velocity relative to that of air velocity in the vicinity of the droplet.
If we assume d. = 1.0 mm and a relative velocity of 10 m/sec., the
Reynolds number becomes 688 at standard atmospheric temperature and
1!
i'.
pressure. The drag on a single droplet may then be written as follows
(Ref. 15).
2D = 0.5 CD Pg(Vg - V p)Ap (2.5)
where
CD = 24.0 ReP Rep < 0.5
CD = 27.0 ReP -°084 0.5 < Rep < 70.0
CD = 0.414 Rep 0.1433 70.0 < Rep < 1.3 x 106 (2.6)
CD = 3.0 1.3 x 106 < Rep.
The particulate Reynolds number is defined as follows.
Rep = Pg d sVg - Vpl/1g (2.7)
where
CD = particle drag coefficient
Ap = projected frontal area of an equivalent sphere having the
same mass as the droplet.
The drag on a cloud of droplets becomes much more complicated to
estimate because of (a) the mutual interaction between the droplets and
(b) the arbitrariness of the direction of motion of different droplets
at different times in the vicinity of any one droplet. References 16-28
provide a short bibliography on this subject. Two examples of drag
correlations are given here, one due to Refs. 16 and 21, and the other
due to Ref. 22.

2.7 Heat (Mass) Transfer Between a Cloud of Droplets and the Surrbunding
Fluid
In our case of interest, the interfacial transfer of heat and mass
between a single droplet and the surrounding fluid is primarily due to
forced convection. Free convection and radiative (heat) transfer are
neglected. The transfer rates may be determined by the following.
Heat Transfer Rate = hh A(T - T )(2.14)
Mass Transfer Rate = hm A(Cws - C wg)where
hh = average heat transfer coefficient for the droplet (cloud)
hM = average mass transfer coefficient for the droplet (cloud)
A droplet (cloud) surface area
T = temperature
Cws = water vapor concentration at surface droplet (cloud)
Cwg water vapor concentration in fluid flowing around droplet
(cloud).
When the relative vzlocity between a single droplet and the
surrounding fluid approaches Eero the following relationship is used toidetermine the transfer rates (Ref. 29).
Nu = 2.0 3
Sh = 2.0 (2.15)
14T
where
, = Nusselt number hh ds/k
Sh = Sherwood number = hm d s/Db
k = thermal conductivity of the fluid surrounding the droplet
(cloud)
Db = binary mass diffusivity.
The convective interfacial heat and mass transfers are a function of
the respective P6clet number, and the internal circulation of the droplet.
The Peclet numbers are defined as follows:
Peh = ReD x Pr =I~a V fd/a (2.16)
Pem = Rep x Sc = IVg - Vp~ds/Db (2.17)
where
Peh = heat transfer Pecl t number
Pem = mass transfer Peclt number
Pr = Prandtl number = vi /p g
Sc = Schmidt number = vg /pg Db
= thermal diffusivity of the fluid surrounding the droplet
(cloud).
Again assuming ds = 1 mm and a relative velocity of 10 m/sec, Peh = 498,
and Pem = 391 at standard atmospheric condiLions.
When the particulate phase changes from discrete droplets to bubbles
the internal circulation varies from zero to a maximum. Fluid droplets
are considered to have an intermediate amount of internal circulation.
The presence of surfactant (surface reactant) impurities contaminates
15
the gas-fluid particle interface and also tends to reduce the internal
circulation in droplets and bubbles. This in turn considerably reduces
the rates of interfacial transfer.
References 30 and 31 provide a summary of a large number of analytic
and correlated results for s-ngle particle interfacial transfer. Three
such results follow.
Friedlander (Ref. 32).
Peh Peh2 1Nu = 21 + 4h + h
pem Pe 2 (2.18)Sh = 2[l + +.J!1. + ]
These results apply for no internal circulation, small P6clet numbers,
and small particle Reynolds numbers.
Levich (Ref. 33).
Nu = 0.998 Peh1/3 + 2
(2.19)
Sh = 0.998 Pe mf3 + 2
Levich's results apply for no internal circulation, large Peclet numbers,
and small particle Reynolds numbers.

Sh = 0.895() Pem + 2
where
Z 2(l + a) (2.21)
9 : /(Pp + E) (2.22)
= "interfacial viscosity" due to adsorbed surfactant impurities.
16
These results apply for toderate to strong internal circulation, large
Peclet numbers, and small particle Reynolds numbers.
When the relative velociy between a cloud of droplets and the
surrounding fluid approaches zero the following relationship may be used
to determne the transfer rates (Ref. 31).
Nu = 2/(1 - ovV 3
(2.23)Sh = 2/(I - av/3
The Mus elt and Sherwood numbers are defined in the same manner as for
the single droplet case, but note that the fluid surrounding the cloud of
particles may well include other particle clouds and therefore the
thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and binary diffusion coeffi-
cient must be modified accordingly.
The interfacial convective heat (or mass) transfer between a cloud
of droplets and the surrounding fluid is not only a function of the
Peclet number (Peh,Pem) and the internal circulation of the particles.
It is also a function of particle concentration and particle size
distribution. These reflect the influence of both particle-particle
interaction and hydrodynamic fluid-particle interaction. References
(35-44) provide a short bibliography on this subject. Two examples of
correlations are given here, one due to Reference 36 and the other due to
Reference 41.

3. PERFORMANCE ESTIMATION
In light of the discussion in Section 2, a multi-stage axial
comoressor operating with a two-phase fluid is studied best by dividing
it into three parts as follows:
1) The low pressure stages in which no substantial change of phase
(from liquid to vapor) has occured;
2) The intermediate stages in which there is a complete change of
phase; and
3) The high pressure stages in which one has essentially an air-
vapor mixture.
In each group there is a change of performance, efficiency, and surge
margin.
In view of the uncertainties on transport properties of particulate
two-phase flow, we have concentrated in the present investigation on the
performance of a compressor operating with air-vapor mixture. This
effort is divided into the following:
(1) Performance calculation of a single stage air compressor,
PURDUE 001 & 002 Compressors
(2) Performance calculation for the multi-stage compressor, N.G.T.E.
#109 Compressor
(3) Performance calculation for the P&W TF-30 Compressor.
Each of the forementioned are evaluated using temperatures corresponding
to: (1) design conditions - 288 K, (2) air containing water vapor in the
form of dry steam - 373 K, and (3) air before the latent heat is absorbed
due to evaporation - 429.04 K or 484.79 K.
20
3.1 Single Stage Compressor
A single stage compressor was desinged with the following design
parameters:
mass flow = 20 kg/sec
stage temperature rise = 20C
r.p.m. = 9,000
mean blade speed = 180 m/sec
Both a constant -eaction (PURDUE 001) and a free-vortex (PURDUE 002)
compressors were designed.
The performance of the single stage compressor was calculated for
operation with the following working fluids:
a) air at 14.70 psia pressure and 429.04JK, 373.00 K, and 288.00 K
temperature.
b) air mixed with 5.0% steam (by weight) at 14.70 psia and 373.0°K
temperature. The results are presented it, Figs. 3.1-3.13.
3.2 Multistage Compressor: N.G.T.E. #109
The design details for this compressor can be found in Ref. 47.
The performance of the compressor was calculated for operation with
the following working fluids:
(a) air at 14.70 psia pressure and 484.79'K
(b) air mixed with 10% steam (by weight) at 14.70 psia pressure and
373.0°K temperature
The results are presented in Fig. 3.14.
21
4 3.3 P&W TF-30 Compressor
In view of the lack of consistent design and experimental data, it
has not been possible to carry out performance calculations, although
plans have been made to carry out the following calculat-,ns:
(a) H.P. compressor performance with air mixed with 10% by weight
steam.
(b) L.P. compressor performance in the initial stages with air
mixed with 10% by weight water in uniform droplet form.
(c) Stage 10 with sudden evaporation of 5% water and with air mixed
with 10% by weight steam, although this is in principle equivalent
to the calculation described under 3.1.

4. COMPRESSOR AEROTHERMODYNAMICS
The compressor aerothermodynamics developed here is based on
References 48-56. However, the working fluid is assumed to be an air-
water mixture in which there can arise . change of phase from liquid
water to vapor. In view of the fact that the water droplets may be
subjected to gravitational forces, especially in inter-blade spacings and
in non-rotating blade passages, gravitational forces .,ave been included
in the three-dimensional two-phase flow equations.
In the absence of gravitational forces, it is proposed to develop a
compressor performance calculation method based on the axisymmetric flow
assumption.
4.1 General Considerations
a) State Relations
i) GAS PHASE: The gas phase is considered to be a mixture of air
and water vapor that behaves as a perfect gas. Therefore,
Pg = pg Rg 1 (4.1)Pg =presure ssoiate wit tg g g sphs
where
P9 = pressure associated with the gas phase
Rg = gas phase gas constant.
ii) LIQUID PHASE: The liquid phase is assumed to have a constant
density,Pp 0.988 gm/cm 3. (4.2)
I It is assumed that when a reaches a value of 0.40 for tap water and
air (0.90 for "pure" water and air) at a pressure of one atmosphere a
film arises on the casing wall (Section 2.5).
23
4
b) Stress-Strain Relations
i) Pressure: The mixture pressure (gas continuum + liquid
"continuum") is assumed to be equal to the gas phase pressure,
Pg. It is assumed that the water droplets do not contribute
to the local pressure due to the lack of randomness in local
particle motion.
ii) Viscosity: A turbulent, isotropic, effective coefficient of
viscosity based on gas-phase Reynolds number is assumed
throughout. The water droplet content is therefore not
accounted for in estimating the mixture viscosity.
iii) Viscous force on droplets: The viscous force on droplets is
based on a Reynolds number calculated with respect to the gas
phase kinematic viscosity (effective), the relative gas
velocity, and the local statistical mean diameter of the droplet
(Section 2.6).
iv) Surface tension: The droplet breakup is based upon a critical
value of Weber number (of the order of ten) and the surface
tension for water is taken to be
a = 67.91 dynes/cm. (".3)
c) Water Droplet Fraction
The particulate droplet mass fraction is defined as follows:
a ((m:/VOW/(m/Vol m = mp (4.4)
where
a m : particulate droplet mass fraction
m mass
Vol Volume
( )- : pertaining to the mixture as a whole.
24
The particulate droplet volume fraction is defined as follows:
av Volp/VOl. (4.5)
E-.panding Equation (4.4) and substituting (4.5) an expression is
obtained relacing o;v and am
am :v pp (av[Pp P g + Pg) (4.6)
or
v M am pg/(pp -amLP p - pg]. (4.7)
0v is a function of the statistical mean diameter and number
density of the particulate cloud.
IV ds3 Ns (4.8)
where again
ds = the Sauter statistical mean diameter of a cloud of5Idroplets
Ns = the statistical number density, i.e. the statistical
number of ds size particles per unit volume of overall
mixLure.
4.2 Conservation Equations
a) Assumptions
i) The gas phase is assumed to be a perfect gas continuum.
ii) The particulate liquid phase is assumed to be a continuum that
does not contribute to the local pressure. Two exceptions to
3this continuum assumption are the determination of a) the
viscous interaction force between the particulate liquid and
gas phases, and (b) the interfacial heat and mass transfers.
25
iii) Mass conservation is assumed for each of the two phases, the
gas phase and the particulate liquid phase, allowing for
phase change.
iv) The liquid mass that is vapori;:ed is assumcid to be instantly
and intimately mixed with the gas phase, i.e. large scale
vapor concentration gradients and the momentum of the
vaporized mass are neglected.
v) On the scale of droplet dimensions, there are local variations
in velocity, temperature, and vapor concentration. The evapora-
tion of individual droplets is calculated as a process
dependent upon such local properties.
vi) When axial symmetry of the flow is assumed, it is necessary to
treat the gravitational body force as being negligible.
b) Description of Coordinate Systems
The equations have been deduced using two coordinate systems,
intrinsic and cylindrical.
i) Intrinsic Coordinate System (Figure 4.1)
The m,e,n intrinsic system is a local, right hand, orthogonal
system. The m-direction lies tangent to the local streamline
direction, and the e-direction is orthogonal to the m-r plane
where r is the radial vector defined in Figure 4.1. The n-
direction is normal to the m-direction in the local meridional
plane.
ii) Cylindrical Coordinate System (Figure 4.2)
The cylindrical system is fixed to the axis of rotation of the
compressor. The z-direction lies along the axis of rotation
26
I
in the direction of the bulk flow and r is in the radial
direction. The e-component is in the circumferential direc-
tion defined positive with respect to a right-hand r,e,z
orthogonal coordinate system.
iii) Rotation of the Machine
It is more convenient to work in coordinate systems which are
stationary with respect to a rotating blade row. Hence fluid
velocities for a rotating machine are defined as follows:
(1) Intrinsic Coordinates
SW + U (4.9)
where
= absolute velocity vector
= relative velocity vector
= local blade rotational velocity vector = U m 0 +n
UmUo,Un = the m,e,n components of U, respectively,
but
Um = f04J2)
U6 = fe(U, 41,P2) (4.10)
Un = fn(U,41,"2)
where
U = the magnitude of the local blade rotational velocity
vector
UmU0,Un : the magnitudes of the m,e,n components of U
! = the angle between the radius vector and the m-direction
2 = the angle between the radius vector and the n-direction.
27
Therefore,V = W + U Vp = 1IT + Ugmn gIn Inp p m
Vgo 1go + U V p0 = Wpo + [ (4.11)
Vgn Wgn U n V = W + U n OJ
(2) Cylindrical Coordinates
Again -+-
where similarly
U Ur + U 0 + U Z. (4.12)
But
U r = = 0. (4.13)
Therefore
U =U 0 (4.14)
and U Ue =rw (4.15)
where
w = angular velocity of the rotating blade row.
As a result,
Vgr Wgr Vpr Wpr
V go Wgo + rw VP6 =Wo + rw (4.16)
Vgz Wgz Vpz Wpz
c) Flow Equations
The following flow equations are deduced in both sets of
coordinate systems for three-dimensional as well as axisymmetric
flow. They consist of the following:
28
i) Mass Conservation equations
ii) Momentum Conservation equations
iii) Energy Conservation equations
iv) Variation of ov with respect to the three coordinate
directions
v) Radial Equilibrium equations
The equations are presented in Appendix II as follows.

5. DISCUSSION
i- f The study presented in this Report is concerned with the operation
of an aircraft compressor with an air-water mixture ingested into the
engine either from puddles on runways or from rain at altitude.
The water in the air-water mixture may be found in several states
(discrete droplets, film of water, evaporating droplets and steam)
between the inlet and outlet of a large pressure ratio multi-stage
machine, such as the TF-30 compressor. Agglomeration and break-up of
droplets, the transport processes (mass and heat) between the droplets
and the surrounding air and the drag of droplets are not phenomena that
are well understood quantitatively. They are central to gaining an
understanding of the changes in the state of water in the system.
The presence of water in air also affects the compressibility of
the mixture and therefore the local Mach number at any location in the
compressor becomes a function of the state and content of water in the
mixture.
The rotating flow field of a compressor has a strong influence on
the state and distribution of water since centrifugal forces and Coriolis
forces affect both discrete droplets and films of water.
Discrete droplets are also subject to gravitational influence, at
least at low rotating speeds and in inter-row spacings and stators.
In examining the performance of a multi-stage compressor with an
air-water mixture flow, it seems most useful to divide the compressor
into groups of stages on the basis of the state in which water isexpezcted to be found in each group. In doing this, there arise at least
two important uncertainties: (1) the formation of a film at the casing
wall and (2) the gradual evaporation of the droplets.tN
30
- R
AI Some preliminary investigations conducted on the performance of a
single stage machine with air-water droplet mixture flow have revealed
that the water droplets cause both a reduction in mass flow as well as a
slight change in efficiency, mainly due to incidence and Mach number
effects.
The performance of stages where the droplets are expected to be
evaporating cannot be estimated with any degree of accuracy based on
overall stage characteristics. Nevertheless, it is possible to argue
that the stages where the largest amount of evaporation occurs must show
the largest change in performance on account of the sudden fall in air
temperature due to latent heat absorption by the water.
When there is an air-steam mixture flow, it is possible to make a
rough estimate of the change in overall stage characteristics. It is
found, both in a single stage compressor and in a multi-stage machine,
that there is a noticeable deterioration in performance both in efficiency
as well as in the surgeline.
In order to perform more satisfactory calculations, it is imperative
that one proceeds to set up the equations of aerothermodynamics for air-
water mixture flow in a compressor. This task has been completed both in
general three-dimensional coordinates as well as in axisymmetric
coordinates. Such equations involve several quantities that can only be
estimated very roughly and hence can perhaps be treated only in a para-
metric form: (1) volume fraction of the water droplets, (2) statisticalmean di ameter and nlumber 'ens Iity IU
an...... of droplets, (3) mass, momentum and
go energy transfer between the droplets and the air, and (4) degree of mixing
between evaporated water and the surrounding air.
31
The equations for air-water mixture, when compared with the standard
compressor flow equations for air flow, reveal several ways 'in which
computational programs set up for air flow can be adapted for use with
air-water mixture flow.
In examining the problem from the point of view of alleviating the
effects of water ingestion, one can arrive at several methods of attack
on the problem:
(a) Removal of as much water as possible at the casing walls.
(b) Bleed-in of air into the latter stages of the compressor from
another stream.
(c) Variable geometry engine with adjustable air flow paths.
5.1. Recommendations
The recommendations may be divided broadly into two categories:
(i) Further diagnostic studies.
(ii) Future studies.

(incorporating bleed-in and bleed-out) on the basis of stage character-

compressors with two-phase flow.

APPENDIX I
Estimate of Water Lifted by Wheels
An estimate of the amount of water thrown up by an aircraft wheel
from a puddle of depth equal to h can be obtained as follows.
Let the direction of motion of the wheel be x and the transverse
direction on the ground be y. Refer to Figure A.I.I.
It has been pointed out (Ref. 57) that the relative flow between
the wheel and the water is hypersonic in the sense that the Froude number,
Uc/(g h) , is of the order of 100 when h is of the order of a cm. in
depth, and where Uc is the speed of the undercarriage of the wing and
hence of the order of tens of meters per second. Accordingly, one can
postulate (on the basis of blast wave analogy) a bow wave or hydraulic
jump, as shown in Fig. A.I.I, at a distance yB from the wheel.
Now, a jet of spray can be assumed from the wheel (Ref. 58) on
account of the action of the relative wind on the surface of the moving
water. The time rate of "pumping" of the water can be written as
S C (Pw (Pa ) YB (A.I.l)
where Pa is the density of air, Pw the density of water, y' the time
derivative of YB' and c, a constant equal to approximately one.
In order to obtain YB' consider the momentum of the mass, Pw YB h,
contained in a strip of water of unit width and the frictional resistance
offered by the ground, f B YB where f is the friction coefficient,
-2of the order of 10- . The two forces must balance each other together
with the momentum loss in the spray. It can then be shodn that
B- nI ) (A.I.2)
73
S;- # . . .
wherenTI 0. 5 c (pa/Pw ) / (A.1. 3)
and
n ni + f (A.I.4)2 = n
Substituting Eq. (A.I.I) into Ec. (A.I.2), the amount of water
sprayed behind the wheel per unit distance of wheel travel can be written
as follows.
mw = 4Pw(P w/P a) h2/cI. (A.I.5)
Thus, the mass of water thrown up from a puddle 0.5 meters long and 2 cm.
deep is of the order of 10 kg. during a conventional take-off. This does*
not yet account for the water sprayed forward of the wheel in its jet
stream. During a rain storm, over a runway length of 1,000 meters with a
1 cm. depth of water on the runway, the amount of water lifted off the
surface can be as much as several metric tons. Motion pictures of wheel
sprays have shown rather large pumping characteristics.
An estimate of the spray envelope from the wheel, y, and zB (the
height reached by the spray), is rather more difficult to estimate. Some
experimental studies on a typical wheel in a moving-belt equipped wind
tunnel is indicated before proceeding too far in the analysis.
